I’m a New York-based correspondent for Agence France-Presse, reporting on US politics, courts, immigration and the human stories behind major global events.
My work is carried to thousands of international news outlets through the AFP wire. I have covered:
The 2024 US presidential election, including the attempted assassination of Donald Trump
High-profile court hearings involving Nicolas Maduro, Luigi Mangione and Harvey Weinstein
The impact of US immigration enforcement on communities across the United States
I focus on bridging politics and personal stories: producing compelling, human-centered journalism that helps us understand the forces that influence our lives.
Previously I was based in Washington, DC for AFP, and prior to that I was a news reporter for the Sunday Mirror newspaper in the UK, where I delivered exclusives and investigations.
